40/40 Club

I ended up here one NYE after not making plans and I was appalled.  It's a little ghetto.  The 40/40 in Manhattan has a better clientelle.  AC has so many clubs and options.  You can literally opt  out of this place.  Sorry.

went here on friday night . it was absolutely DEAD .one guy really dancing, i suppose he was on molly. a few other people dancing here & there.  i enjoyed myself anyway because of the open bar vip package we reserved in advance finally did get me buzzed . but our server connie was terrible . first of all they are very disorganized , they hadn't received our reservations from the NY 40/40 yet so it caused a great deal of trouble. we were supposed to have open premium bar and all you can eat for 3 hours.
we arrived a half hour late to start which wouldve been fine except when we arrived and got comfy on the couch (party of four) our server rushed off and didnt return. i went to the bar to order a drink after 15 minutes and was told i could not get a drink that the server had to get it for us , well where the hell was she. she then rushed over from a dark area and i ordered a round of drinks. again she disappeared, so i went back up to the bar to try to get a second round. she then came over and told me our receipts had not been received yet and we would have to pay cash for whatever we ordered ,
ummm i dont think so not when i have the charges on my bank activity not once but twice . we were told one was a hold that would drop off and had to go through all kinds of trouble during the week to get it removed when both charges went through . okay so at this point we are waiting . no drinks no food - on the couch at this deserted club .
i had to go back in the office with the big boss for about 25 mins , he was actually very helpful and worked to get the situation fixed as best he could when finally he send me back out and said he would take care of things until the receipts came through . finally i could get my drink on . he walked me out and told connie to take care of us , she did take our food order and get us another round . but she did not take care of us . as empty as the club was i expect decent service . she acted like she couldnt be bothered with us -i assume that she simply did not want the $80 tip i had origanaly set aside for the server i requested who happened to be off :( .
and for the record we are classy and not AC slum . she was just too busy talking to coworkers . smh .
anyway with one hour left to our package we finally got appetizers . within the last hour we were able to get a few more rounds of drinks mostly because i kept leaving the vip area to go find connie . what a drag . the drinks were watered down so i started to get shots and was told i can only get it on the rocks . fine . ciroc on the rocks whatever . a member of our group ordered a meal that never came . we also ordered a few drinks that our server never brought us . overall it was terrible but i was able to get a decent buzz even though the drinks seemed watered down.
the club interior was nice . thats about it . probably the only place in AC where you can here that music selection in the club . i will give this place ONE more try when the server that suggested i come is actually working .

also i wouldnt pay $13-$17 for the drinks on the menu
or the prices for those weak appetizers.

Well, it was OK, and I'm not a club person.  It was just odd how everyone was on the stairs (or at least it looked like stairs, more like decorated bleachers) anyway, and they could barely move.  Really, who does that, who needs to do that?!  We came from out of town and my girl wanted to go, wasn't my choice, but hey, it's one of those "yeah, I've been there" stories I guess.
